A review of energy harvesting using piezoelectric materials: state-of-the-art a decade later (2008–2018) (2019, methodology): “Analytical modeling and experimentation under chirp and band-limited white noise excitation showed that an output power density of 0.33 mW cm−3 could be harvested, which was significantly higher than the power density of the bistable systems introduced by Mann and Owens [227], Stanton et al [198], E”
On the efficiency of piezoelectric energy harvesters (2017, positive): “To broaden the frequency bandwidth, researchers have introduced nonlinear vibration into energy harvesting systems [15,43,64,65] It is unclear whether the phase difference of these nonlinear systems will match the linear ones.”
Improved Energy Harvesting from Wideband Vibrations by Nonlinear Piezoelectric Converters (2009, positive): “The presence of bistability makes the system capable to rapidly switch between the stable states under proper mechanical excitations, thereby increasing the velocity and, in turn, the power converted by the harvester, as analytically studied in [22,23].”
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Solutions (2014, methodology): “Among all the proposed devices [95–100], Andò and colleagues [96] developed a MEMS harvester based on the bistable oscillator model (Figure 22).”
Bistable vibration energy harvesters: A review (2013, background): “Experimental studies confirmed that interwell motion, whereby the system oscillates switching between the two stable equilibria, provides more energy than intrawell motion, with oscillations around one stable equilibrium configuration (Cammarano et al., 2011; Erturk and Inman, 2011; Sneller et al., ”
